Chapter 1 Bloody Beginnings
1998, Norway
It had been two hundred years since the battle of Twin Peaks was decided and the warriors of the Order of the White Rose fought a long and grueling battle, losing over half their fighters against the Army of the Lord of Shadows.
The reason for the losses of these brave heroes was due to the evil dictator known as the Lord of Shadows. With his army, he descended on the Scandinavian countryside to destroy all who stood in his way. Pillaging and selling the vanquished into slavery, he showed no mercy to his victims. He was defeated, however, not by the army but by one man. That man was the leader of the Order of the White Rose, Master Eirik. He was a monk who had studied the ways of the warrior and mastered aikido and Stav fighting. He was able to seal the Lord of Shadows using the forbidden technique of the Soul Seal, banishing him in an object.
That was Master Eirik’s last battle because he gave his life to seal the evil one. The Lord of Shadows had been imprisoned for two centuries. This left the five keys with the five masters of the White Rose. The Lord of Shadows became imprisoned inside a statue of a Norse god. His power was dispersed among the five keys, and only if those five keys were brought together within the temple would he regain his power. The Guardians were there to make sure that did not happen.
To further protect the keys, the Guardians eventually spread out among the world. For generations, the keys had been passed down from master to student. This was where our story began.
